Alemanni

The Alemanni, also known as the Alamani or Alamanni, were a confederation of Suevi tribes from the upper Rhine area in Vicus Alemanni, present-day Germany. The Alemanni's legacy is shown in the exonym of Germany in France, Spain, Portugal, Azerbaijan, parts of central Russia, and the Arab World, all of which are related to the term "Alemannic".

History
The Alemanni's name means "all men", a reference to the fact that they were a collection of Suevi tribes, based along the Upper Rhine in Germania. The Alemanni were subject to a punitive expedition by then-Caesar Flavius Julianus in the 350s AD, ending up in defeat at Argentoratum. The Alemanni were subjugated by the Franks in the 370s AD, but continued warfare with them until the conquest of the Alemanni in the Battle of Tulpiacum/Tolbiac in 496 AD.
